How do you-all do > this, or am I wrong in thinking that's what I need? Depends on which gnus state:s you refer to. IMAP keeps most states on the messages on the server for you. You may want to synchronize ~/.emacs or ~/.gnus to have the same settings on the two machines. Syncing other states (~/.newsrc.eld, say group parameters or topic structure) may be more tricky, but it isn't clear to me that you need that... /Simon
